Pros

Great culture in the office, everyone is really friendly. It's an open office where everyone interacts - there are no cliques. Everyone from the very top is always willing to help and guide you. Everyone is rowing in the same direction! There are massive career opportunities as they hire a lot from within the company. Kitchen fully stocked with everything you would ever need like snacks, drinks, etc and they also have catered lunches 3 days a week. There are always fun events held for the employees - activities, etc. The office is very centrally based in the city which is nice

Cons

It's not easy work but it's very rewarding and they do everything to support as much as can.

Pros

Datadog has a strong product, smart coworkers, and a fast paced environment that teaches you a lot quickly. I learned a tremendous amount about observability, technical discovery, outbound prospecting, and how modern engineering organizations operate. The company has also gives reps exposure to large accounts and technical conversations early in their careers.

Cons

The ramp for newer AEs can feel steep, especially in a hgihly competitive outbound environment. Success often depends on timing, territory, pipeline momentum, and consistent coaching. There can also be a significant pressure tied to activity metrics and pipeline generations, which may be difficult for reps still developing confidence and process consistency.
